The Jet Alphabet Book (Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet Books)

My nephew LOVED unwrapping this present on Christmas morning! He's not quite 3, and was tearing through presents searching for jets in the form of toys. Watching him, I honestly thought he'd shrug and turn away when finally getting to this, so I kind of prepared myself for a pinch of disappointment. But he surprised me when, upon seeing the cover, his face lit up and he asked his mamma for help getting the rest of the paper off the corners. He immediately flipped through pages, patiently looking through each and spending more time on some than others. I very nearly held off giving this to him this year because it felt beyond the connection of a 3 year old. I mean, I'm in my 30s, and when flipping through this, it seemed pretty technical and definitely more about facts, no story. Blew my mind when I realized my nephew was actually familiar with many of the jets within the pages, and listened when his parents read aloud interesting details or information about them. So wonderful! Glad I didn't hold onto it, as it's something he will certainly continue to grow into and understand more as he grows. Thanks for a great book!

I love the content of the book. The pictures and information are great and my son adores reading through it.I’m very disappointed with quality of the binding and delivery. My mail carrier FOLDED the book in half leaving the creases you can see in my photo. It was shipped in a bubble mailer with no additional protection. I would return it, but it’s a Christmas gift and we can’t replace it in time for the holiday.Over all, again, the content is amazing and I’m very pleased with it. I only wish the delivery hadn’t damaged it.

I inititally bought this book for my 2 year old since he is learning his letters. But I just got this book in the mail, and am so excited about it, it will be great for the older kids as well. (They are all starting to get interested in fighter jets) It has a lot of different planes in it, and great information about each. It is very well written. I am getting on here now to order a second book for my nephews in first grade. Some of the planes it talks about: E-3, F-16, Harrier, KC-10, F-117, SR-71, F-4, F-22, B-2, F-14, U-2, X-13, and A-10. I have never written a review, that is how much I liked this book.

Nice book. Quickly recieved but because of being poorly handled it arrived with a giant crease down the middle including part of the spine of the book that was coming away from the paper-backing. This did not deter my grandson....only his grandmother. I understand this happened in shipping but some easy and inexpensive changes could rectify this issue easily.

I bought this book for my airplane-aficionado son when he was far too young to appreciate all of the advanced details about the jets. No problem - it's a great book to go through, looking at the pictures, and reading just what each letter stands for, starting with "A is for Aerocomet". It was the best airplane book we've found for little kids. Now that he's five, I'm reading the whole thing, every word. It stands up better than most to repeated rereadings.
